ack 1.90 released
I just released ack version 1.90 to CPAN. If you don't know about ack, it's a text searching tool for programmers aimed specifically at searching large trees of code. Find out more at betterthangrep.com.
Here's the changelog for this version:
1.90 Mon Sep 7 23:24:24 CDT 2009 [ENHANCEMENTS] Added Ada support. Thanks to Shaun Patterson. Added -r, -R and --recurse options as in grep. They have no effect because directory recursion is on by default. Also added --no-recurse for orthoganality. Thanks to Mark Stosberg and Ryan Niebur. Version in --version is prettier. Thanks, Ori Avtalion. Added an updated ack.bash_completion.sh from Adam James. [FIXES] Expanded --files-without-match to --files-without-matches. Removed all the hi-bit characters, so we don't have any encoding problems. It's all entities now. Fixed capture-stderr to localize some globals that were obscuring errors. Thanks very much to Christopher Madsen. Fixed uninitialized errors in tickets #138 and #159. [DOCUMENTATION] Fixed an incorrect command line in the docs for -f. Added notes on --pager. Thanks to Mike Morearty. [BUILD] Made the squash program more robust when handling POD. Thanks to Kent Fredric. 1.89_02 Wed May 13 16:20:21 CDT 2009 [DISTRIBUTION] Updated Makefile.PL to use new ExtUtils::MakeMaker features. Thanks, Schwern. [FEATURES] --version now shows the version of Perl that ack is running under, and the full path to the Perl executable. Added new switches --color-match and --color-filename, which let you define ACK_COLOR_MATCH and ACK_COLOR_FILENAME from the command line. Added new switch --column to display the column of the first hit on the row. Thanks to Eric Van Dewoestine. Added .ss to --scheme. [FIXES] No longer die if you have a .tar.gz file in your tree. More tweaks to get the detection of input and output pipes working. Fixed an amazingly bad call to cmp_ok() in t/ack-passthru.t. [DOCUMENTATION] Started an ack FAQ.
